The challenge consists of two stages. The first stage is a Request for Information (RFI) during which the city is looking for information on products, technologies, services and other creative cost reduction strategies.

This is designed to provide the City with industry insight, experience and understanding of the solutions available on the market. Responses to this RFI will inform a future Request for Proposals (RFP) to implement the solution.

Who can participate: The opportunity is open to anyone with a solution to reduce the cost of the city’s Green Stormwater Infrastructure program.

The City welcomes ideas from social entrepreneurs, engineers, architects, designers, NGOs, and general city enthusiasts working locally or internationally.

To apply, please download the RFI and submit your proposal no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on July 14. Please send your response as an email attachment of no more than 2 MB. Attachments may be in .doc, .pdf, or .ppt formats.

Emails should be addressed to Jessica Noon with the subject “GSI Innovations Submission – First Name, Last Name” at PWD-GSI.Innovation@phila.gov.
